Heat storage designs are becoming important these days, as buildings and factories, and systems generating renewable energy, try to save energy for reducing operating costs. The concept is straightforward. Rather than using energy at the instant it is produced, we store a part of the energy in heat form and use it later. In this way, systems function more effectively, wasting less energy.

But one would have to plan a system of heat storage. You would need to know how much heat you need, for how long, and with what material. Once these points are known, heat storage becomes a very effective tool for keeping the temperature up and energy bills down.
